General Baking Tips
PREHEATING
NOTE: Preheating will vary between Ultra Rokite
shelf and steel shelf ovens.
D
A steel baking shelf set to 600_F (316_C) will
preheat in30-40minutes. An additional20 min-
utes should be allowed for the oven to soak up
heat.
D
A Ultra Rokite shelf set to 600_F (316_C) will
preheat in approximately 1 hour and 10 min -
utes. An additional 20 minutes should be al-
lowed for the oven to soak up heat.
For preheating the oven both the UPPER and
LOWERHEATERswitches(4and 5)shouldbeset
on HIGH. When t he oven has been preheated as
recommendedfor steelorUltraRokite shelvesthe
heater switches may be set to the desired level.
VENTING THE OVEN CAVITY
An oven cavity slide vent for venting moisture is
furnished above the upper heaters and must be
operated from inside the oven.
BAKING
Theidealtemperatureforbakingpizzawillvaryde-
pending on the type of pie, the method of baking
the type of shelf. It is suggested that you attempt
experimental initial bakes at 600_F (316_C). Note
the time it takes to achieve a firm crust. If the
cheese breaks down too quickly or scorches ei-
ther lower your thermostat setting or top heat
switch setting. This will affect the length of your
baking time. If faster production is desired, a t-
tempt additional bakes raising baking tempera-
tures in increments of 25 degrees or vary switch
settings on the upper and lower heaters. This will
help to determine the highest possible bake time
for achieving the desired results with maximum
production.
Baking time willvary depending on the number of
toppingsonthepie.Generally,piesinpansshould
bakein5-8minutes, pieson theshelfshouldbake
in 4:30 --- 7:00 minutes.

zas is unnecessary in most cases.
The deck is intended for cooking pizza and bread
products, other types of food may be cooked in
pans or containers.
